Providing the Tipping Point for SuccessFoothill-De Anza Food Pantries Give Relief to ManyOur college food pantries have become a go-to resource for hungry students. Many students surveyed by the colleges reported thatthey ate less or went hungry because they didn’t have enough money for food. Increased stress from being hungry or worryingabout the next meal negatively affects student success. The Foothill-De Anza Foundation recently launched the Hope Initiativeto raise additional funds to support our food pantries. We are thankful to all the donors who have contributedto the Foothill and De Anza food pantries over the years.Grateful for the Assistance League of Los AltosIt is heartening to know that local community organizations recognize that college students in our area need extra help. Thanks tothe generosity of the Assistance League of Los Altos, 310 Foothill College students received electronic grocery store cards duringthe fall, winter, and spring quarters through the Foothill Food Pantry. These gift cards provided a critical source of support thathelped students and their families afford groceries, relieving hunger and worry so students could focus on their studies.“During the winter quarter, I had almost no money left from bills and having to fix my car, which I use to help take care ofmy grandparents. When I got my Food Pantry gift cards, it helped tremendously being able to afford groceries again.”– Foothill Food Pantry recipientDe Anza’s Food Pantry Helps Those Who Need it MostThe De Anza College Food Pantry served more than 500 students in the 2020-21 academic year.Throughout the year, students received e-gift cards to buy groceries and other essentials. Withouta generous gift from donors Paul and Melonie Brophy, the food pantry would not have had thestaffing to manage the food pantry effectively and meet student demand. It can be difficult forstudents to reach out for help, but our kind and caring staff members from De Anza’s Office ofOutreach make the food pantry a welcoming place for students.“ Thank you for helping me out in so many ways. The food pantry staff has been so kind to me.I’m so grateful for the support during these difficult times.”– De Anza Food Pantry recipient[ 3 ]
Student Contract Tracers Help the Community, Thanks to Chancellor’s Circle FundsAs COVID-19 infected thousands of Silicon Valley residents, Foothill College launched a free Contact Tracing and CaseInvestigation course to help meet the demand for trained volunteer contact tracers during the pandemic. Each volunteertracer had to complete the course and 100 hours of contact tracing service for Santa Clara County to receive a 1,500stipend made possible using unrestricted funds contributed by Chancellor’s Circle members.Led by Foothill health science and biology instructor Dr. Rebecca Ryan, the course provided an opportunity for studentsto be part of the county’s public infrastructure and serve the community.“ I am thankful for being part of the Contact Tracing Corpsat Foothill. The skills I have learned as a contact tracer,such as active listening and cultural competency, havefar-reaching applications, and I am glad to be of serviceto help stop the spread of such a deadly and destructiveinfectious disease. The generous stipend will go towardsfinishing the coursework needed to apply to medicalschool next year.– HannahCONTACT”“ As a contact tracer I worked to provide crucialinformation to individuals who contracted ormay have been exposed to COVID-19. It’s not aneasy job. But the experience gave me confidence,a community of lifelong friends and mentors, andadmiration for the public health field. The stipendI’ve earned will go towards my college textbooks,supplies, and transportation for school.”– Riana[ 4 ]TRACING
De Anza Nursing Students Deliver COVID-19 VaccinationsIn February 2021, De Anza College Nursing students played a vital role in Santa Clara County’s COVID-19 vaccination program,administering injections at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds in San Jose.Several students had the opportunity to meet California Governor Gavin Newsom, when he stopped by the fairgrounds andthanked them for their contributions to safeguarding public health.Nearly 30 students gave vaccine injections at the fairgrounds and 14 administered COVID-19 tests at another location.The students were able to serve the community while gaining valuable clinical experience.“We are so proud of our Nursing students who, like so many other front-line essential workers, are playing a vital role in thefight against this deadly pandemic,” said Anita Muthyala-Kandula, dean of Biological, Health and Environmental Sciences.“We have a great team of classified professionals and faculty here at De Anza who are continuing to support their on-siteeducation and clinical experience during these difficult times,” Muthyala-Kandula added.Nursing is one of the De Anza career training programs that has been recognized by the California Community CollegesChancellor’s Office for helping students make significant financial or career gains. That’s one of the reasons why De Anzais “Tops in Career Training.”Pictured: Chanel Espinoza, Michael Perea, Clementina Lambert, Samantha Monjaraz, Gov.

Nursing Students Receive Extra SupportDe Anza nursing students received emergency grants through the Foundation for California Community Colleges in partnershipwith the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, which created the First Response Healthcare Student SupportFund in April 2020. The First Response Fund was established to support students, families, and communities affected byCOVID-19. The Foothill-De Anza Foundation administered the grants to make sure the funds reached students in need.“COVID-19 has created an environment with new obstacles for those of us training to become the next generation ofhealthcare providers. However, there are new opportunities that have been given to us as well. I recently participatedin a county COVID vaccination clinic and was able to give vaccinations to many people in the community. It touchedmy heart to have people express their gratitude and to be able to discuss and empathize with them about how thepandemic has been affecting them and their loved ones. I’ve found that this pandemic is teaching me how to carefor others more deeply and how to go the extra mile to show kindness.”– Sandra, De Anza College nursing student[ 6 ]
Hope InitiativeOur foundation is doing something bold: We have embarked on an initiativeto raise an additional 3 million over the next three years to support thebasic needs of students at Foothill and De Anza colleges to help themachieve their educational and career goals.Generous donors have helped our students through many hard times.Not only do these incredible contributions support the academic excellenceof Foothill and De Anza colleges, they also support students outside of theclassroom by funding direct services and grants for food, housing, andmental health services. We know that supporting students’ basic needshas a direct relationship to their retention and student success.The Basics of SuccessThink about it: If you had difficulty covering your own or your family’sbasic needs, would you be able to stay in college? Whether it’s havingenough food, paying the rent, struggling with an unforeseen expense, or accessing mental health services, these are constant struggles formany of our students. With a bit of extra support, however, we know they can focus on their education and reach their goals.We are looking to you – our donors, our community, our corporate partners, our friends, and our alumni – to meet the goals of this campaignand continue your support for students and educational excellence at Foothill and De Anza colleges.Will you join us in reaching our first 1 million?Donate today, and make a big difference in the life of a student:foundation.fhda.edu/what-we-do/hope initiative.html[ 7 ]
DID YOU KNOW?A L M O S T4 in 10students responding to a recent campus survey saidthey ate less or went hungry because they didn’thave enough money for food.morethanhalfof students responding moved often, shared a room,or struggled to pay for housing or utilities.A L M O S T1 in 6students responding said they had been homelessduring the previous year.“ It is very comforting to know there are individuals andorganizations like the Foothill-De Anza Foundation thatare willing to help in times of distress. For educationalinstitutions to care about their students even outsideof the classroom is very motivating.“ Thanks to the emergency fund, I will be able to stay onI SE V E R Y T H I N Gcourse to a bright future and focus on my education,not on the limitations brought about by the coronavirus.I will remember the support I received and will nothesitate in returning the favor. ”– Christian, De Anza student[ 8 ]
Overcoming Homelessness,Foothill Alum Perseveres and Transfers to UCLAWhile attending Foothill College, alumnus Matt Bodo faced down obstacles familiar to many current students: housing and food insecurity.Now a transfer student at UCLA, Bodo recently spoke from his dorm room with Foothill-De Anza Foundation Executive Director DennisCima about how the essential support services he received at Foothill College helped him get to where he is today. He expressed appreciationfor everything from scholarships and emergency grants to counseling and other assistance through Foothill’s Extended OpportunityPrograms and Services (EOPS). These are topics that matter a great deal to Matt, as well as to many other community college studentsand their supporters.“I cannot put into words how much communitycollege has changed my life,” Matt said. “There’snot a moment before Foothill that I would havepictured myself where I am now and as happyand, by my own definition, as successful as I am.”Matt stresses the importance of meeting students’basic needs for food and housing as a key tostudent success. He said the resources madeavailable to him at Foothill College enabled himto stay in school, complete his studies, andtransfer to UCLA, where he is majoring inlinguistics and psychology.According to the American Association ofCommunity Colleges, 46% of all undergraduatesin the U.S. are enrolled in a community college.Many of these students are the first in theirfamilies to attend college and aren’t familiar withthe variety of expenses that come with collegelife. The cost of food and housing combined withunexpected living expenses can leave students[ 9 ]
(Matt’s story continued from previous page)having to choose between adequate nutrition, paying the rent, buying books or even staying in school. For Foothill and De Anza students,the high cost of living in Silicon Valley makes going to college a challenge.A recent survey of Foothill students asked, “What issues are a significant concern where your ability to remain enrolled and/or besuccessful in your classes may be affected?” Most students responded that “reliable finances” was their greatest concern. For so manyFoothill-De Anza students, paying for housing, food and healthcare is the greatest barrier to staying enrolled and finishing their education.Matt’s experience at Foothill College highlights the importance of meeting students’ basic needs as well as the value that our communitycolleges bring to students’ lives. Foothill and De Anza colleges serve as safe places where students can lean on others for moral andfinancial support.“I’m proud to say I’m a Foothill alum, and I don’t know if it would have been possible without the support of donors,” Matt said. “It can makethe difference for a student being able to graduate and transfer, or not.”The Foothill-De Anza Foundation and its donors have supported students for many years with grants, special programs, and scholarships.It is this kind of direct support to students that helps them overcome obstacles and succeed. At a time when students are facing highlevels of financial hardship, the foundation is excited to lead the Hope Initiative to help as many students as possible with their basicneeds in order to reach their educational potential.With support from the community college district’s board of trustees, faculty, staff andadministrators, the Foothill-De Anza Foundation Board of Directors is taking the leadto raise an additional 3 million over three years to support students’ basic needs.“As president of the Foothill-De Anza Foundation, I’m proud that we launched theHope Initiative to help more students like Matt achieve their dreams,” said boardPresident Rimi Bewtra. “Foothill and De Anza are Silicon Valley’s educationalcornerstones. By raising funds for basic needs, students can focus on collegeand career. We are honored to help meet the demands for an educated workforcein our region and give every student, no matter their economic status, anopportunity to reach their educational goals.”You can view Matt’s full interview here.[ 10 ]
De Anza President Lloyd Holmes Shares First-Year ExperiencesTell us about your first year as President of De Anza College.My first year has been truly wonderful. I was welcomed so warmly to the college – by students, faculty, staffand our community members. De Anza College has been an integral part of the community for more than50 years, and yet had only three presidents in its history. That’s remarkable when you think about it. It’sbeen an honor to begin my tenure as the fourth president of such a stellar institution and to workalongside those focused on students and supporting their success.You moved to Cupertino from the East Coast. How has it been getting to know a new communityduring such a unique and challenging time?I have been participating in as many external events and activities as possible and meeting with donorsas well as government, business and nonprofit leaders in the region. I joined the Cupertino Rotary and haveparticipated in several of their service projects, as well as events held by the Cupertino Chamber of Commerce,among others. I recently was appointed to the West Valley Community Services Board of Directors. West Valley isa key supporter of De Anza College’s Food Pantry program.In terms of living in Silicon Valley, it has been a great experience. Still, I have to tell you, I wish the circumstances were different! Myhusband, David, and I are people who like to be out and about and explore the area around our new home. Certainly, it’s been more difficultin the current environment. But I’m hopeful we’re past the worst of the pandemic – for many reasons, of course – and we both lookforward to experiencing our new home in full.How has the college adjusted during COVID-19, and what needs will our students continue to have?I arrived several months into the pandemic, in July 2020. I was incredibly impressed with what our faculty, staff and administrators wereable to pull off quickly and just prior to students’ finals in March, when all classes and services went online. I continue to be impressedwith the dedication to students evident in the delivery of classes and services over the past year. And college leadership has engaged inoutstanding return-to-campus planning, bringing some classes and services back to campus this fall and implementing a mandatoryvaccination policy.Student needs continue as before – yet have intensified. Basic needs are the best example of this. Students who lost jobs, or whoseimmediate family members lost employment, may face greater food insecurity. There was so much loss during the pandemic period –loss of life, of livelihood, of community – that the mental health needs that had already existed for students were exacerbated. And ofcourse, needs specific to the pandemic also emerged – for technology, for example, a quiet study space.[ 11 ]
(President Holmes’ interview continued from previous page)How have donors to the Foothill-De Anza Foundation helped students to make it through the difficulties of the last year?We are incredibly grateful to our donors. Gifts in the area of basic needs help us continue to serve our students in these fundamentalareas and help keep students enrolled and engaged. Similarly, donations to scholarships help retain students at De Anza and assist ourgraduates as they move on to their transfer universities. Unrestricted gifts, such as those to the Chancellor’s Circle, help us address awide variety of needs we could not otherwise meet. We simply could not do what we do as De Anza College without our donors!Given the rapid pace of Silicon Valley, how do you see De Anza College’s role in the region?Because the pace is so rapid, I see De Anza moving ever more quickly, as well, to meet the continually evolving needs of students,the community and area employers. We will begin conducting a strategic planning process this year, based on the college’s GuidedPathways initiative and equity work, that will help facilitate this ability to respond quickly.Specifically related to employers, we’re fortunate to have many part-time instructors whowork in the fields they teach and representatives of area employers on our career technicaleducation advisory committees – both of which help keep us current and able to respondnimbly to regional needs.What are your priorities for the 2021-22 academic year?From a fundraising perspective, my top priority continues to be meeting student basicneeds. Again, doing so is crucial for our students’ essential well-being and ultimatesuccess and why I strongly support the Foundation’s Hope Initiative. I plan to workclosely with the Foundation Board of Directors and staff, and the De Anza Commission,in informing our community about the Hope Initiative and the lives they will changethrough their support. My additional fundraising goals include support for the arts atDe Anza and for our student veterans.My other priorities in the community are to continue engaging with regional leadersand community groups to benefit our students. Internally at the college, my focus willbe the combined strategic planning and Guided Pathways work, which is inspired bythe aphorism “It takes a village” to support a student, along with the vision of achievingequity goals for the students of De Anza College.[ 12 ]
De Anza Alumna Gives Back to Support ScholarshipsMary De Masters is a De Anza alumna whose life was shaped by an internship program at the college in the early 1980s. Mary came to‘California to be a Cobol programmer but was unable to find work right away. She enrolled at De Anza College and secured an internshipthat eventually led to a permanent position at Adobe. She is extremely grateful for her experience at De Anza and pays it forward bysupporting scholarships for current De Anza students.Her generous gifts support multiple scholarships including the Great PerseveranceScholarship, which recognizes students who have overcome a challenge or hardshipsuch as living with a disability, being the first in their family to attend college,overcoming economic hardship, re-entering college after a period of absence,or being a single parent. The Great Perseverance Scholarship receives themost applications of all our scholarships.We are so grateful that Mary’s support allows the foundation to offer morescholarships to our students. Crystal, a student veteran who graduatedmagna cum laude this summer with an associate degree in biologicalscience from De Anza, is among the many beneficiaries of Mary’sgenerosity. Her thank-you note on the next page demonstrates herpassion, determination, and appreciation for receiving a scholarship.The foundation distributed more than 600,000 in scholarship awardsin fiscal year 2020-21 thanks to amazing donors, like Mary, who knowthe value of investing in students who are pursuing higher education.thank you donors!we couldn’t do it without you[ 13 ]
Dear Generous Donors,My name is Crystal and I’m writing to thank you for selecting me as the recipient of the De Anza Great Perseverance Scholarship.I am so grateful and touched to receive your support in my academic journey!I grew up in rural China and was reunited with my mom when I was relocated to the U.S. at 6 years old. As a first-generationcollege student, life has been a tumultuous journey with many ups and downs. The challenges I faced and overcame inspired meto become a teacher and a military medic. Both these roles helped me gain the skills and capability to pivot my career towardachieving my long-held dream of becoming a Physician Assistant (PA).Throughout my diverse experiences, I have learned that there are countless people, from kids to adults, who face the type ofchallenges I faced – language difficulties, cultural barriers, etc. My lifelong goal is to become a bastion of support to thosewho are disadvantaged by working to improve public health and education – two pillars critical to building a healthier society.By attending PA school, I will train to become a skilled and compassionate healthcare provider focused on supporting medicallyunderserved populations. I will become a leader in my profession by advocating for my patients. I will leverage my teaching andmilitary experience to build robust interdisciplinary communities in order to strive for long-term positive social impact.I’m currently in the process of interviewing for PA schools. I know this is just the beginning and the journeyahead is long and rife with challenges as well as great financial cost. Your gift came to me at a timewhen I truly needed affirmation. Thank you for hearing me when I poured my heart and soul into myscholarship application essay. Thank you for believing in me and finding value in my cause.With your support, I will continue to work hard to reach my goal of improving social, educational,and healthcare outcomes for all!Best,Crystal Tao[ 14 ]
